Okay, here is a mostly fleshed out idea that anyone is free to use. I am going into a temporary retirement as far as new tournaments is concerned, so I feel no need to keep them from everyone:

The Scramble 100Idea by Optimus Prime

PREMIUM IS REQUIRED TO JOIN THIS TOURNAMENT

Introduction: Welcome to The Scramble 100! This tournament is one that does nothing more than prove who can play the most consistently over the course of 100 games. There will be 30 players in the tournament and they will play 100 1 vs 1 games in a row. Each player’s record will be kept and the player with the best record at the end will be crowned champion.

Gameplay: All games will use the following format: Sequential, Flat Rate, Adjacent, No Fog of War. Each set of games will be randomly assigned, which means that random.org’s list randomizer will take the list of participating players and randomly pair them up. Each player will start with 8 games in the first set and there will be new games on a regular basis (likely once per week).

Maps: The games will be played on the following maps, chosen randomly throughout the tournament:

The Ultimate Terminator TournamentIdea by Optimus Prime

PREMIUM IS REQUIRED TO JOIN THIS TOURNAMENT

Introduction: Welcome to The Ultimate Terminator Tournament! This tournament will feature every single map that is currently available on the site. The format will be very similar to the previously seen Iron Man tournaments. There will be 25 players, with the games being randomly mixed for each map. The total number of kills will be tracked throughout the entire tournament, and the player with the highest total when the final map is complete.

Important Note: Please only sign up for this tournament if you are willing to seriously compete all of the way through. Of course, there are extenuating circumstances from time to time, and there will be reserve players, but it will be appreciated if you are willing to play all the way through.

Game Play: Each map will be played with 5 players, Sequential Turns, Flat Rate Cards, Unlimited Fortifications, and No Fog of War. We will start with the first map on the list and will move through them 5 at a time until we have finished the list. Given that this tournament will take a long time to finish, there will definitely be new maps added to the list as the tournament progresses. All new maps will be included in the tournament.

Scoring: The only scoring for this tournament will be eliminations in each game. The more eliminations you make, the better. Therefore, it should prompt many occasions where players take a little more risk to gain an extra kill to improve their place in the standings.

Schedule: There will be 5 new games to join each week. If at any time there is an excessive number of active games when the next set of games is scheduled to be started, we will delay by an extra week to let things die down for a little bit.

Standings: The standings will be a list of players with their total number of kills/eliminations next to their names.

Introduction: Welcome to the Free Player’s Open! You may not enter if you have a premium membership. Also, if you wish to enter you must leave 1 game slot open at all time for this tournament. There will be 20 players divided into 4 four divisions of 5 players each (sorted by score at the beginning of the tournament). Each player must choose a “home map” when the sign up.

All games will use the following settings: Sequential, Escalating, Unlimited, No Fog of War

Gameplay: Each division will play one game at a time until they have played one game on each “home” map that was chosen by players in their division. They will receive a score based upon their finishing place in the game as follows:

1st: 5 points
2nd: 4 points
3rd: 2 points
4th: 1 point
5th: 0 points

The top finisher from each division will advance to a place in the “Finalist Division.” The four finalists will play 1 game on each home map with the same scoring and the top finisher will be crowned the champion.

Schedule: Each division will be given one game at a time to play (because the players are non-premium). When one game finishes, the next will begin immediately to decrease downtime for players eliminated early. Players should be advised that if they are eliminated early in a game that they may have to wait a little while for the next game. They should not join extra games and fill their slot, but should be ready to join on a moments notice.

Alright so heres the layout, 64 players, 8 player standard games (Im thinking escalating, unlimited blah blah, to keep the game short)
The winners of the games continue up the ladder to battle for the Champion of CC while the losers continue down the road of becoming the Biggest Loser of CC, in order not to become the biggest loser, you must win at least 1 game. Note- This is not a goal, please try not to become the biggest loser...

Example-
Game 1 [Round 1]
Players 1 [Winner]
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

Game 9 [Round 2 Winners]
Players 1
9
19
32
54
25
62
42

Game 10 [Round 2 Losers]
Players 2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

Im sure theres going to be confused people and i know i didnt detail it to the best of my abilitys but time is short for me.

For the record, i do not want to host this, if someone else can host this idea, then please by all means do so

Thank you OP

And to answer your question, The people that win continue up until there is only 1 left. (People who won a game cannot be considered a loser and join loser games, once you win and lose, your done)
As for the losers, they continue downwards, its a long bracket. A loser has to be win at least one game in order to be disqualified from being the biggest Loser in CC.
Basically its a 2 way elimination game.

This isn't so much a tourney idea, as an idea for the create/join a tournament threads in general. It's actually not my idea. I have no issues with shamelessly stealing from others. It's based on Sir Rocco's reserve pool. Why not create a thread for people willing to be reserves in any tourney. You could have willing reserves post a list of any settings that they are willing or unwilling (whichever works better) in their reply so tourney creators could have a ready pool of willing "extras" to draw from.

Just a suggestion.

Ricco. I like the idea and I had an Idea like that before. I think you will see some changes some. Prime had an Idea for a tournament helper, OTIS. And its in the making, but when done the tournaments will be a lot easier to run.

Cold War Tourney, anybody? With the Soviet Union map out, it would work... one bracket USA, the other USSR, or something like that.
Just an idea, of course. I'll never be starting it, but if someone decides to take it up, just PM me & I'll be sure to join
